Now more than ever, we need to engage in the political process — and in the raging culture wars, now and for as long as we are able. My suggestions for what us regular folks should focus on amidst all of the swirl are below:

1. Obama and Hillary are not the issue, the Media IS the ISSUE. The election is rigged in many ways, but one of the most important ways is that the media, posing as objective, actively promotes leftist ideas and candidates. Even when the direct connections between the media and Hillary’s campaign, Clinton pay to play corruption, and Clinton inciting violence to build a false narrative about Trump supporters were exposed in emails by WikiLeaks or by James O’Keefe, the media does not find it newsworthy. Even the most moral and honest among us, like Mitt Romney, was and will be smeared by this propaganda machine. Only by acting collectively we can grow the honest media and shrink the dishonest media. Engage with the honest media today and everyday, like them on Facebook, follow on Twitter, and sign up for emails to share key stories with friends and young people:

www.breitbart.com – original content that highlights the dishonesty of the media and provides a wide range of news not otherwise found.www.dailycaller.com – original content of honest news that complements Breitbart

www.drudgereport.com – content aggregator that brings to light important stories ignored by much of the media

www.cnsnews.com – main news site of Brent Bozell’s Media Research Center, which exposes liberal media bias

–For Television, Fox News is tops, but One America News is worth viewing www.oann.com/ (on Fios and a few other cable operators).

2. Be a Culture Warrior or Just Silently Watch our Culture Vanish. The left is advancing its radical agenda every day by removing God and religion from all public life, using tv, music, media, celebrities and courts to force its illegal immigration agenda on us and using public and private institutions to punish anyone who challenges these beliefs. We either remain silent and watch our culture and freedom vanish before our eyes, or we start with a small step and stand up for our culture.

3. VOTE, VOTE, VOTE and help others to do so. This election is not about the candidates, but about the judges and officials they will appoint, and the party that will be in power. We are one Supreme Court justice away from losing our Constitutional rights to whatever issue of social justice is in vogue at any time. Trump will appoint judges who will follow the original intent of the Constitution in the mold of Justice Scalia. The stakes couldn’t be higher.

Some information about the Declaration of Independence, which we celebrate today, is below from David Barton and Wallbuilders to review and share with family and friends.

Today is the day to start or continue the Fourth of July ceremony tradition that is demonstrated in the linked video on Prager University. In addition to the video, you can find a transcript of the ceremony so you can read it at your barbeque, a list of the items you will need such as a half dollar or quarter, and also an unsigned copy of the Declaration of Independence (attached) that everyone at your party can sign. Give it a try and let me know how it goes. http://www.prageruniversity.com/History/The-4th-of-July-Declaration.html#.VZgHWtjbLL8

Prager University also has many other 5 minute videos that are fun to watch and impart tremendous wisdom for children and adults alike. Bookmark it and share with friends and family.

Listeners to Mark Levin know about the recent momentum behind the Convention of the States project. Mark’s 2013 book The Liberty Amendments got the movement started because he understood that the federal government, under either party, will not limit its own power to spend money we don’t have and erode our rights to life, liberty and property.

There is a strong national — and grassroots — Convention of States movement to get 34 state legislatures to pass a resolution calling for a convention of the states to limit the power of the federal government with:
a. fiscal restraints,
b. limits on its power and jurisdiction, and
c. term limits.

Any convention would be restricted to the topic of limiting government power in these 3 areas. This is a non-partisan movement and it can and must attract not only conservatives, but independents and liberals. Anyone can understand that it is immoral and unjust to saddle every new born baby with $56,000+ in federal debt for which that child will receive no benefit.

Even in NJ the movement is surprisingly strong with local district captains throughout the state. Now is the time to work to convince state legislatures to pass this resolution by getting as many petition signers as possible. Any citizen 13 or older can sign and it can all be done online at the link below. More information is available at the Convention of States website and in the videos linked below.

In addition to keeping up with this year’s election, this is a movement that goes beyond what any new President will be able to accomplish, and must be pursued simultaneously. Take action now:

1. Get your whole family to sign the petition online. http://www.cosaction.com/
2. Forward this email and get other friends and family to sign the petition.
3. Listen to Mark Levin 770 AM 6pm-9pm to hear from the Greatest Voice for Liberty of our generation how to effectively defend freedom.
